Carbon is the most common element on earth, so the innovative discovery of a new type of carbon molecule won the 1996 Nobel Prize. In the ready-to-go lesson, scholars learn about C60 and how it has opened up the entire area of...

At a depth of 3,000 m in the ocean, the pressure is 300 times that at sea level! In the activity, individuals predict what will happen to Styrofoam cups submerged 3,000 meters into the ocean. They then convert these units to soccer...

NFL football in science class? Yes, please! In an engaging and motivating three-day lesson plan, kids take a look at their own nutritional habits and needs compared to those of an NFL player, then experiment with the effects of hydration...

Students explore physical education by completing a quiz in class. In this engineering instructional activity, students identify different ways engineering has made sports safer such as stronger padding and helmets, stronger equipment...

High schoolers study the body systems and their functions.  In this human body instructional activity students research the Internet on body systems and write a description of them. 

Students visit numerous places to help in their understanding of Ecology. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about characteristics and how to identify numerous plants and animals. This lesson allows for many field trip...

Learners experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Learners graph the results...

Middle schoolers examine the law of conservation of momentum. In this physics instructional activity, students play marbles in order to compare the mass of the marble and velocities effects. Middle schoolers receive directions of the...

Students review and practice soccer dribbling/ball handling skills while studying basic concepts of how free radicals and antioxidants affect the body. As the molecules move throughout the space with their electron, the free radicals...

Students convert English to metric units. In this math instructional activity, students give examples of measurements they encounter in their daily lives. The share their answers in class.

Create a scaled model of our solar system in your classroom! Scholars work collaboratively to build paper mache planets and hang them in their proper position to showcase each planet's location in the solar system.   

Using footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, and more, learners conduct experiments to illustrate Newton's Laws of Motion.  The experiments are conducted outside, and require them to throw, kick, and hit a variety of balls. Your...

Students measure the actual size and distance of the solar system using scale and ratio. They watch and discuss a video, create a distance-scale solar system model, and compare the scale sizes of planets to their actual sizes.

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.

Students learn about how robots are programmed to play games. They then construct robot applications (basic computer codes) for playing tic-tac-toe comprised of if-then logic sequences. Students then compete in teams using their...

Imagining themselves arriving at the Olympic gold medal soccer game in Beijing, students begin to think about how engineering is involved in sports. After a discussion of kinetic and potential energy, an associated hands-on activity...
